With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Great for people who'll be humming afterwards and animal lovers. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Same wavelength as Hair or Cabaret. An animal steals a fair few scenes.
- The mood
- Funny with heart, romantic.
- The pace
- Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 42 min.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.
Jim Ryan and Kate Conroy love each other, but John Conroy stands in the way of their happiness until Jim Ryan recaptures a prized colt.
